Missions

A vital and fulfilling element in our lives revolves around reaching out to others in a variety of ways.  These include serving at a mission school, mission trips, supporting other workers and local community service.

Below you'll find links to several organizations and sites we highly recommend.  Click on any logo or title to go to the web site you wish.

GMI began with a leap of faith when David Gates felt called to serve the Davis Indians in the remote interior of Guyana.  Projects expanded throughout South America including basic education & industrial training, satellite & cable TV networks, medical aviation programs and much more.
 

Adventist Medical Aviation provides medical evacuation services, transports food, medicines & Bible workers throughout remote locations in Bolivia, Cameroon, Chad, Guyana, Mongolia, Norway, Philippines and Venezuela.  Our son Daniel volunteers as a pilot for AMA Bolivia.

This ministry in Papua New Guinea provides transportation and communications for health and educational workers with Christian values who are willing to volunteer their services in remote villages that have no other connection with the outside world.
